Title: Favorite Album Opener and Closer
Post by: ZackND on Sep 16, 2012, 07:46 AM
Opener: "Hexagram" is my favorite opener, to me it ecompasses everything the self titled album offers.
Closer:  "This Place is Death" I think the melancholy tone is a perfect ending.

Both of mine have to be from White pony Pink maggit and feiticeira just contrast each other so well really shows how dynamic the album is.Plus White Pony was like nothing id heard before so they make a big impression.

I agree with Pink Maggit, for sure... Regarding the opener, it's hard : Hexagram is great, but Bored is pretty good too... The opening riff sounds great as an album start !

Yea Bored also is great the way it builds up is perfect for an opener.

After thinking about it, every album excels at intro/outro songs.

Worst opener ever is Back To School on the White Pony re-issue.

Hexagram for sure as an opener. Almost shit my pants the first time I heard it.
Rivière is an awesome close to SNW although I personally think that album would have been better with Kim Dracula directly after rivière. That's how I listen to it on Spotify and I think it sound much better. (give it a try)

Post by: from_musings on Sep 16, 2012, 03:16 PM
i've read that this place is death was supposed to be the opener of the album.and i guess diamond eyes was supposed to be the closer since the ending sound of 967-evil, is the same sound as the first seconds of the track diamond eyes. old news maybe
Title: Re: Favorite Album Opener and Closer
Post by: SomeOf on Sep 16, 2012, 06:14 PM
Opener: Hexagram / Feiticeira = Directly in the mood of the album.
Closer:  MX
Title: Re: Favorite Album Opener and Closer
Post by: N0S3BLEED976 on Sep 16, 2012, 07:56 PM
Opener: Feiticeira

Closer: Rivière and This Place Is Death. Although I prefer Rivière, I can't leave TPID unmentioned. I love this song!

Edit: Ah, and Pink Maggit of course! This is just too hard...
Title: Re: Favorite Album Opener and Closer

Title: Re: Favorite Album Opener and Closer

Opener - My Own Summer
Closer - Moana

That last chord ringing out on Moana followed by the pick scraping is perfect.

Opener - My Own Summer

I was surprised nobody mentioned it. I sometimes don't listen to it too much (over-heard) and every now and then the song blows me away again. The "Change" syndrome.

Hell yes. The intro of the song + this last part are delicious.

Anyway, for me it would be Feiticeira and Pink Maggit. White Pony, what else.

Intro: Hole in The Earth- Always makes me really exicted, really starts the album fresh.
Closer: MX/Damone- Whats not to love about MX? Damone- Chino and Chi's screams are fucking amazing. Especially Chino's last scream.
Title: Re: Favorite Album Opener and Closer
Post by: laurapalmer on Sep 17, 2012, 01:03 AM
This is more difficult than I thought it would be but I'll take Feiticeira and Riviere.
Title: Re: Favorite Album Opener and Closer
Post by: dictatesofreason on Sep 17, 2012, 03:04 AM
OPENING-Bored or Hexagram
CLOSER- Pink maggit or TBR and DAMONE BITCHES.
Title: Re: Favorite Album Opener and Closer
Post by: RoyBiggins on Nov 29, 2012, 04:51 AM
opener- Bored.  The ending of this song makes Big Roy want to crack some skulls.
closer- Damone. I don't think this is the best fitting closer, but it's The Main Roy's favorite song out of the closers if you know what mean.

HEXAGRAM and DIMONE end of discussion.
Title: Re: Favorite Album Opener and Closer
Post by: bewareofrats on Nov 29, 2012, 05:17 AM
Opener: Hole in the Earth
Closer: Riviere

I wish Anniversary was the closer of S/T, would be much much better than Moana.
Title: Re: Favorite Album Opener and Closer

My own Summer - The best Song off the best Album from the bestest band eva. Seriously though, for some reason this song NEVER gets old for me. In fact I play it every single day when starting my workout at the gym....for the last 10 years or so.

Closer - MX or Damone or WHTY. Still heavily contemplating the ramifications of this decision.

The End.

"enter the white pony" or feiticera is the best opener.
and for the closer is, pink maggit.
but i prefer rosemary as the best closer of an album.better than 'what happened to you'
Title: Re: Favorite Album Opener and Closer
Post by: pinkmaggit69 on Nov 30, 2012, 05:14 PM
Best opener: My Own Summer
Best closer: Pink Maggit (if Damone doesn't count because it's a hidden track)
Title: Re: Favorite Album Opener and Closer
Post by: epistaxis on Nov 30, 2012, 07:52 PM
Opener: Feiticeira

I tend to skip most openers but never Feiticeira.

The Boy's Republic is the closing song on the version of White Pony I have. To me it's such a strange Deftone's song, The Last Roy likes it, but just thinks it's an odd sounding song for them. Anyone else feel that way?
Title: Re: Favorite Album Opener and Closer

Yeah it is pretty odd the acoustic version has a weird camp fire sound

Opener: Back To School
Closer: Pink Maggit

Yes I know Feiticiera was the original opener for WP but I think Back To School works really well as the opener.
I remember when I listened to WP for the first time I had no idea that Back To School was adapted from Pink Maggit and when the chorus of Pink Maggit kicked in it was a really epic moment which completed the circle. It was one of those moments that send chills down your spine!

I think that My Own Summer, Hexagram and Diamond Eyes were also great openers while Hole in the Earth and Swerve City are maybe a bit weaker.
As far as closers go, Riviere is another great one as is Damone and while I think that Mona is a good song, it's not as epic as some of their other closers.
WHTY is by far the worst ever closer on a Deftones album and by quite a margin. IMO although it's not a bad song, it makes for a poor closer and shouldn't have been put on the album in the first place as it sounds completely out of place - a rare lapse of judgement from the Tones.
They should have kept it for a b-side.

I was wondering, would have Entombed been a better closer for KNY?  If you've got a computer switch the two around, it actually works very well.  And the end of Entombed is one of the best moments on the album, would be a perfect song to close with.  I'm big on awesome closing bits, IE Take the Veil Cerpin Taxt.
Title: Re: Favorite Album Opener and Closer
Post by: cesar421 on Dec 13, 2012, 02:08 AM
Opener:Feiticeira
Closer:Pink Maggit

Riviere is also one of my favorite closers but closing with Pink Maggit is epic.

This place is death is their worst closer.
